Pop-rock song with a female singer who sounded English. Music
Only lyrics I could make out were 'turn it up' repeated at the end of the chorus and the lines at the beginning of the chorus started with 'turn it' (it wasn't 'turn it up' again). Singer sounded a bit like the singer from Black Honey, if that helps.
Song Sample? Music
Is the "intergalactic planetary" portion of Beastie Boy's "Intergalactic" from elsewhere? Or was a clearer version of the portion sampled in another song? I remember it, though less staticy, from somewhere, but it wasn't that song.
Lion Song? Music
I suddenly remembered this song that I heard a few years back. Well, kind of, I don't even remember the tune, but I think I would know it if I heard it. My brain keeps telling me it was Pompeii by Bastille, but that doesn't quite fit, though I think it might have had a similar vibe. The details are:
- A British band, I am pretty sure, even though it was playing on an American Top 40 station
- It was probably no older than the early '10s.
- The main singing voice was male and I don't recall any female voices
- Something about lions and maaaybe ghosts and maaaybe something somewhat akin to a football chant
At this point, I'm not even sure it existed, honestly. I found King and Lionheart, but it does not seem right unless there was some popular cover that sounds completely different and is sung by a guy.

A CGI musical video were a dragon is killed. Music
I was watching MTV in the morning because is the only hour they put music currently. Then I saw this CGI musical video were there's a city whose people is scared of a dragon/dinosaur that they think it wants to destroy them. In fact, the dragon was a good one who lived in a near island and just wanted too make friends. However, every attempt to appear friendly to the citizens and try to gain their confidence ended bad. The people misinterpreted all of them, reinforcing their belief that the dragon was bad and attacking him. Then, when he was trying again to make something cute to the people (I don't remember what it was, he used to make statues and stuff like that), the people found the island where he lived and killed him, and then after that they discovered that he was good.
I was going to write the name of the artist or the song but I missed it and I've never seen it again. I am breaking my head trying to search it but I can't. This is my last hope.
Little Feat Music
Seventies rock group led by the late Lowell George. Spun off from The Mothers Of Invention, the band is known for their eclectic sound combining Southern Rock, Blues, Funk, Jazz Fusion, and Roots Rock.
Was there ever a song with these lyrics? Music
"On the night shift now. It will always get you double. It will wear you down."
Help is appreciated.
2010s Pop Song Music
I can't find this song and it's likely because I'm getting the lyrics wrong. I remember the chorus being "(...) love the one you're with/sometimes you (it?) feel so sad and sick/but you (...) love the one you're with". I can't find anything with those lyrics so I must be getting it wrong.
From what I remember, it's about a girl who likes a boy despite already having a boyfriend. It's probably a 2012-2016 song that sounds a lot like Ellie Gouding.

90s kiddie music video Music
I used to have a tape of TLC (the learning channel's) Ready Set Learn kids programming block, that unfortunately I lost. On the tape was a music video that's remained in my head for years. It was a female singer performing on stage at a concert, and the lyrics were: "Digging in the dirt, digging in the dirt, I don't care if it's my new clean shirt" Anybody know what song it might have been or who sung it? Pretty sure she was a children's music artist, and this would've been the 90s
love and hate song Music
Is there a trope for a song that is both a love and hate song? Examples "Feeling Kinda Naughty" from Crazy Ex Girlfriend or "love to hate you" by Erasure.

Whistly hold-up music Music
I'm looking for a whistly hold-up phone tune, presumably from the 2000's, that reminded me a bit of the Teletubbies theme song. I'll try to write the tune in onomatopoeia: Whistle-whistle-ly-whoo, Whistle-whistle-ly whoo, Whiss-whiss-whoo-whoo, w-whiss-whiss-whoo-whoo W-whistle-whistle-ly-whoo, Whistle-whistle-ly whoo, Whiss-whiss-whoo-whoo, w-whiss-whiss-whoo-whoo (Keeps repeating)
R and B song in the early 90s Music
A guy is singing about loosing his girl. Its an R and B song and he appears to be singing in a barn with his group. We get flashbacks abot the guy and his girl and things start off well. Happy times. Something goes wrong and she literally runs away from their home. All I remember is part of the chorus Ill bet my bottom dollar , that your not thinking about me. Anymore. Longshot , but the songs been bugging me for a while.
Cover of Rudolph the Reindeer where he tells the other deer to get lost Music
It was on the radio at work, but as I was on the shop floor at the time (and Christmas music loops a lot less), I couldn't identify it, or try and google it on my phone.
A song with a female singer about being in love with your friend Music
I know a few of the lyrics but I can't find the song. It's a slow ballad-esque song about being in love with your best friend:
"And it's killing me alive. Reached the bitter end. Can't pretend I'm not in love with my best friend".
Mystery Nu Metal(?) Music Video Music
I remember seeing this on Yahoo music back around 2003-2004.
It was live action, but had some animation on a revolving cube (like this: https://youtu.be/T0RvPYRRRbE?t=40s) that showed a dude picking his nose and eating his boogers and then his finger.
Can't remember the track, but it was metal or hard rock?
TVNZ Duke's station id song Music
Does this song even have a title/artist, let alone exist outside of being the TV station's station ID? I would like more info if it's available.
I already tried searching by lyrics. I tried audiotag too and that didn't turn up anything.

Men in a huge house Music
Im looking for a TV show that used to go on nickelodeon/ disney channel in the 2000s. it is about 3-5 men (and maybe a woman, i dont exactly remember) living/ working in a huge house. i remember they used to start every episode in a room were they played instruments and sang. they talked about what theyre gonna do in that episode. i remember one specific episode when they were in one of the rooms in their house which was a labyrinth room. they got lost and didnt find their way out until the end of the episode. i remember it was also something with a talking mice. i also remember another episode when a woman visited them.
they used the same clothes. the show had like a red and yellow color theme.
Vevo ad music Music
Sometimes when I listen to music on You Tube Vevo plays a short ad. There is one section I find myself repeating in my head but naturally I don't know the name of the song. I believe it goes 'da,da,dada,da,da' and i think the singer is holding her microphone loosely while look down and to the left. anyone know what the song is, perhaps someone familiar with the ad?
it's not March of the Gladiators, or actually pronounced da,da,dada,da,da.

Peanuts Music Album? Music
I'm trying to remember one licensed Peanuts album, which if I remember, had Snoopy dressed in 80's aerobatics clothing on the cover.
Two songs, same laugh sample Music
In "Kylie Said to Jason" by The KLF there's a sample of what sounds like a woman laughing starting at 0:12-0:15 (it recurs throughout the song) and I swear I've heard that exact laugh in another song. It's not a laugh that merely sounds like it, I'm pretty sure it's the same exact sample. Can't remember if it was before or after "Kylie"'s release, but I think the other song in question was also electronic, so I'm leaning toward the latter.
edit: I think I found it on my own: "Window Peeper" by Aphex Twin (laugh can be heard from 1:26-1:30). Both songs are believed to have been released/made at around the same time and it sounds like the same laugh except altered by one or the other. Huh.
Song in R&R video Music
Does anyone know the song that plays during the "DC vs Marvel Month" title card in this video? Sounds kinda stoner-ish to me.
Song featured Twice in this Video Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1zf-QfChz8 (the video is "Pizza Hut PS 1 Demo Discs" by Nakey Jakey, if for some reason the link doesn't work)
My brother really wants to find out what the calm-sounding that plays twice in this video is, the one with the female choir. The first is at 1:20, and only lasts a few seconds before the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 menu theme starts playing. The second time it plays is near the end, at about 3:51.
DanceDanceRevolution song Music
I've been trying to look for this one song/chart that was on DDR, presumably from 4th Mix or DDR MAX 2, something of note is that it seemed like something from earlier than 2005. The song's graphics had a nurse and/or hospital theme and the cover art is a picture of 3D render style several rows of Lego-esque minifigures. I remember reading somewhere that it was cut from some releases due to the kinda suggestive theme of the graphics?
Forgot the title, couldn't bother (and tried) looking on remywiki under "DDR cut songs" but to no avail, nothing.
